Cholinergics.
-Will mimic the parasympathetic action on the intestinal tract and increase motility.-
Which class of drugs will exhibit a parasympathetic effect on a gastrointestinal motility?
Polydipsea.
-Increase thirst or drinking. Additionally, diarrhea, vomiting, weight gain, increased
appetite, and polyuria (increase urination).- What is a common side effect of
prednisone?
Call if there are any signs of anorexia or vomiting.
-Schedule a follow up appointment to check BUN and creatinine levels or to evaluate
liver enzymes levels.
-NSAIDs have the potential to cause renal and hepatic toxicity.- The veterinarian has
prescribed firocoxib (Previcox) for a canine patient that has osteoarthritis but, according
to blood test results, is otherwise healthy. What is the most important recommendation
the veterinary technician should make to the owner as they pick up the dog's
prescription?
Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors.
-As a diuretic will decrease the rate of carbonic acid and H+ production in the kidney.
-Will also reduce intraocular pressure by decreasing aqueous humor production; this
makes it useful in the treatment of glaucoma.- Which class of diuretic is also used for
treatment of glaucoma?

APPHIA - Crafted with Care and Precision for Academic Excellence.
,Loop diuretics and Potassium sparing diuretics - work by enhancing the excretion of
sodium.
Osmotic diuretics - work directly in the kidney by increasing osmotic pressure in the
tubules, thus limiting tubular reabsorption; osmotic diuretics can be used to reduce
intracranial pressure.- Loop diuretics, Potassium sparing diuretics, Osmotic diuretics.
25 gauge.- Which needle should be used when administering subcutaneous fluids to a
bearded dragon?
Insulin.
-These syringes are only used for administration of insulin and can differ depending on
the type of insulin administered. Multi-dose, tuberculin, and eccentric syringes are
divided into milliliters.- Which type of syringe does not have dead space and is divided
into units?
Kidney.
-The kidneys filter the blood and excrete waste products, including drugs, through the
urine.
-The stomach aids in digestion.
-The intestines excrete solid waste.
-The liver metabolizes the drugs.- Which organ eliminates drugs from the body?
Antibiotics.
-Only drug that are permeable to the blood brain barrier.

, -The blood brain barrier protects the brain and central nervous system. It's designed to
keep the circulating blood in the CNS healthy by providing protection against all foreign
substances.
-Once inflammation is present, antibiotics are able to pass through the barrier to help
fight the infection.- Which type of drug is permeable to the blood-brain barrier?
Enrofloxacin.
-Enrofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that is contraindicated in young dogs due to
potential damage to their developing articular cartilage.- Which drug must be used
cautiously in young, growing dogs?
Penicillin - an antimicrobial that has the potential to cause allergic reactions.
Gentamicin - an aminoglycoside antibiotic, has side effects of ototoxicity and
nephrotoxicity.
Clindamycin - a lincosamide antibiotic, has the minimal side effects of occasional
vomiting and diarrhea.- Penicillin, Gentamicin, Clindamycin.
Ketoconazole is hepatotoxic, so liver enzymes must be monitored.- A veterinarian
administers ketoconazole to a canine patient for the treatment of blastomycosis and
requests a follow-up visit in 2 weeks for blood work. Which explanation should the
veterinary technician provide the owner in order to explain the importance of the follow-
up visit?
IM.
-Intramuscular route provides the greatest bioavailability; the rate of absorption from the
muscle tissue is only slightly less rapid than the IV route.- The route of drug
administration that produces the greatest bioavailability is represented by which
abbreviation?
